:::::Yikes - I think I'm getting in over my head. I've just done some work on the 'Language' section, trying to remove unsourced and off-topic material and clear up the language. That section seemed to make it clear that speech production was predominantly left-lateralised. Moving on, I started reading through the 'Hemisphere damage' section, which talks almost exclusively about how damage to the right hemisphere affects speech production. The apparent contradiction will be confusing to the general reader and, assuming it's accurate, really ought to be contextualised; however, the 'Hemisphere damage' is entirely unsourced. I don't want to just cut out an entire section despite the lack of source, but I don't feel qualified to research the discrepancy and reword. What's your background Tom - do you know the subject matter well enough to discuss?[[User:Girth Summit|Girth Summit]] ([[User talk:Girth Summit|talk]]) 18:47, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

== Learning styles ==

Hi {{ping|Luveviolet}}, I just wanted to touch on the edit you recently made, which [[user:Flyer22_Reborn|Flyer22_Reborn]] reverted. I noticed that the text you inserted referred to individuals' learning styles several times, and that the sources were fairly old (early 2000s). As described in [[Learning styles|our article]] on them, the concept individuals having particular learning styles is somewhat controversial, and my understanding is that the accepted position in up-to-date educational psychology scholarship is that they don't. I have some books on the shelf I could dig out to provide references for this if needs be. As Flyer22 said, I think the language would have to be softened, and more recent sources would shed some light on whether anyone still stands by these theories.
